The Oldest City In the US - Episode 334 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

Robin finally returns to Arabella after spending a few weeks dealing with work stuff. Steve takes the opportunity to handle some housekeeping and tame Akiva’s mane while waiting for Robin to return. Once Robin arrives, Steve takes her on a tour of the oldest city in America. St. Augustine was founded by Spanish settlers in the early 1500s—and it has the fort to prove it! Steve and Robin get to walking, touring the Castillo de San Marcos, which was built from a curious material called “coquina,” which is made from a paste of mollusk shells, crustaceans, and brachiopods. Walking through the fort, Steve and Robin get a taste of what life was like 500 years ago. After their tour of the fort, Steve and Robin poke around the shops, and check out a few interesting art galleries. Robin gets serenaded by Ken Jensen at Jensen Pottery, playing a ceramic guitar he crafted himself—art meets music! And Phillip Castillo—St. Augustine’s OG of art—shares the Bart’s local art collection with Arabella’s crew. Of course, coffee was involved :-) Robin and Steve head out of St. Augustine and head to a quieter, more secluded anchorage. At Ponte Vedra, they enjoy long walks on the boardwalk, paddle boarding through a pod of dolphins, and wildlife spotting in the nature preserve. Life doesn’t get much better than this! They even meet another local artist, Ross Currington, who is a skilled artists and woodworker who carves incredibly detailed fish out of cypress wood! Steve also shares the plan for the rest of the winter season. Sailing to Puerto Rico isn’t in the cards at this point, so the crew decides to change course and make way towards the Florida Keys instead, with the ultimate goal of sailing to the Dry Tortugas! Robin has found a few mountain biking trail networks along the way south, which is a good consolation prize since they won’t be climbing in Puerto Rico, as they hoped. If anyone has suggestions for what to see or where to anchor the boat along the east coast of Florida, email [email protected]. Likewise, if anyone has ideas for a graphic for our next tee-short campaign, we’d like to see it! All creative concepts are welcome! -------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-t...
